University Exlension 



University Extension began as an altcinpl to provido instruction of 
a college grade for extramural students. The work consisted of lectures and 
class-meetings similar in character to those of resident teaching. It was 
thought that only groups of i)ersons definitely organized for serious study 
could be benefited. The expression "carry the university to the people" was 
given a limited and a literal interpretation. The recent growth and develop- 
ment of extension work has been, however, the result of a more liberal 
understanding, namely, that of public service. The character of the service 
is determined by the functions of the University and by the demands of the 
communities within the commonwealth siipjjorting th(> university. 

A university has two imj)()rtant functions: to give instruction to resi- 
dent students in the cultural, professional, and vocational branches of higher 
education; to provide for and to promote research and investigation in the 
important fields of human interest and experience. An extension di\nsion 
has three functions: to disseminate the valuable knowledge acquired or 
information obtained from research and investigation; to carry as far as 
possible to extramural students the advantages for culture and instruction 
offered in residence; and in addition to these two correlative functions to 
serve as a cooperative agency thru which many educational and pulilie 
service resources outside of the University may be made available for effec- 
tive public use. 



The Extension Teaciuxc; Service of the Indiana University Exten- 
sion Division includes correspondence-study, class-study, clul>-study, and 
lecture courses. These activities are designed to offer some of the advantages 
for culture and instruction within the University to persons who are not 
enrolled as resident students. 

The PiTBLic Welfare Service of the Extension Division includes col- 
lecting and lending package libraries, exhibits, and lantern slides; compiling 
and publishing informational circulars and bulletins; organizing and direct- 
ing institutes, surveys, conferences, discussion leagues, and extension centt>rs; 
and giving cooperative assistance to clubs, civic societies, public boards, and 
to ollici' eonimuiiitv agencies.

Visual Instruction 



Lantern slidi's, motion pictures, topical panel cxhihits, panitmgs, and 
prints are lent free by the Extension Division as part of the Visual Instruction 
work of the Public Welfare Service. Officials of any school, library, or other 
organization in the State may borrow the material. Rules and conditions of 
borrowing may lie had upon request. 

Motion pictures illustrating a large variety of subjects are circulated in 
the State. They may be exhibit(>d in local theaters when the borrower does 
not possess a projector. Practically the only condition restricting the manner 
of exhibition is the requirement that no admission fee be charged. 

Lantern shdes, approximately 5,000 in number, are an important part 
of the University visual instruction equipment. Borrowers are urged to 
write the Public Welfare Service suggesting improvements in the shde sets 
and indicating suitabk* subjects which should l)e added to the collection. 

Paintings and prints can be readily assembled and packed to serve as 
traveling exhibits. The three Art Loans which the University has circulated 
have proved the practical value of small exhibits of good art. 

Topical panel exhibits have not yet come to be used as a usual means of 
illustrating educational subjects. The large collection of charts in the pos- 
session of the University may be drawn upon much in the same way as pack- 
age libraries from the Bureau of Public Discussion or as book collections from 
the Public Library Commission. 

In the work of visual instruction the Pubhc Weh'are Service aims to 
furnish an increasingly varied and valuable equipment for the use of schools, 
hbraries, and clubs whenever they require illustrative material as a supple- 
ment to regular instruction or as a part of a program of entertainment. 
This aim r(>cogni/.es the desirability, also, of contributing to the growing tend- 
ency toward community provision for non-commercial entertainment. 

Just as maps, illustrations in text-books, and various kinds of specimens 
and instruments in laboratories are necessities in well-conducted schools of 
the present day, so the time is coming when lantern slides, motion pictures, 
paintings, and topical panel exhibits will be common as regular instruments 
of instruction. So also community organizations, aided by the University 
and other public; agencies, will increase their efft)rts to secure concerts, 
dramatic productions, illustrated lectures, travelogues, and other enter- 
tainment for the common benefit. Such tendencies working for the enrich- 
ment of community Ufe may well be encouraged. It is hoped that the 
material of visual instruction provided by the Public Welfare Service may 
help in the improvement of both school instruction and community enter- 
tainment.

This bibliography and the notes on the lantern sHdes are intended merely 
as a source of study for the prepai-ation of a lecture to be given with the slides 
by the local borrower. If the person preparing the lecture desires a more com- 
plete reference list, he may consult the Bulletin of the hidiana State Library, 
X, 3. The notes are not presented as a complete or connected article. Ex- 
perience has demonstrated that set lectures are unsatisfactory and that an 
exhibitor should prepare his own discourse after careful study of the subject 
and thoro examination of each lantern slide to be displayed.

LH. 3. Indians Moving. 

"Again the past resumes its power. 
And leads us back through shade and sheen 
To where our life was in its flower; 
And all the years that lie between 
Are swept away from heart and mind 

Like withered leaves before the wind." — Sarah K. Bolton. 
By the time American history opens most Indians recognized certain 
regions as home. In these limits, however, they wandered about. In fishing 
seasons they went to the streams, in fruit seasons to the berry patches, and 
in winter to the protecting forest. They had little property other than the 
materials of huts and wigwams, furs, skins, weapons, and crude implements. 
LH. i. Indian Shooting Fish (Schoolcraft's The Indian Tribes of the United 

States). 
LH. 5. Indians Spearing Fish from a Canoe. The Indian hunt was not al- 
ways the romantic chase of the "deer with antlers". When hunting 
failed, the creek and the river must supply a living. All kinds of devices 
were used — bow and arrow, spear and gig, rock dam trap, lattice work in 
swift water. Spearing fish was common in the clear northern lakes. 
LH. 6. Indians Spearing Fish in Winter. 



8 Bullp:ti.\ of the Extexsiox Divisiox 

1. 11. 7. Indians Spearing Muskrats in Winter. , In winter pinehing hunger 
drove the Indian to his wit's end to keep from starving to death during 
the long storms. One of his most sueeessful means of winter fisliing was 
to cut a round hole in the iee, fasten a decoy minnow in the water, lie 
down on his stomach, and spear the fish that approaclied. That he might 
see clearly he made a small tent o\cr the opening with his })laiiket. 

I. II. i\. Indians Making Sugar (Sclioolcraft ). As soon as spring began to 
open the families gathered at the sugar camps. Maple sugar was their 
favorite luxury. They collected sap in bark buckets and boiled it in 
iron kettles over open fires. The women did all tlie work. F'easts and 
carnivals followed the sugar making: ^■illage entertained village, and the 
secret societies (Medowin, Jesukowin, Wabeno) held their animal 
sessions. After the fasts of the winter all joined in the revelry. Finally 
the men prepared for the war path, the one great aim of all real Indians. 

"When the sugar camp is open. 
'N' the Kittles in a row, 
'N' the front'ns jest a-Avhoopin'. 
'N' the back'ns bilin' slow; 
Arter all the worter's gathered 
'N' kivered in the troff, 
'N' the syrup's clared and settled, 
Then we'll soon be stirrin' off." — J. S. Reed. 

I. II. 9. Indian Squaws Guarding the Corn Fields. The farming fell exclusive- 
ly to the women, who raised large amounts of corn, beans, and pumpkins. 
Wayne saw cornfields hundreds of acres in extent on the Mauraee. Large 
quantities of grain were buried for preservation, tho the squirrels, wood- 
chucks, crows, and other birds and animals secured a large share. Roast- 
ing-ear time was second only to the sugar-making season. The corn 
furnished su])plies for the war parties. The Indians were not exclusively a 
hunting and fighting people. The women developed a rudimentary 
agriculture and the elements of handicraft. There was also some sta- 
bility in the town and home life. The original social state of the Indian 
was not revolting. Contact with civilizalion l)rouglit out his bad side. 

I. II. 10. Indians Playing Ball on the Ice (Schoolcraft). Ball i)layiiig was 
only one of their many forms of amusement. They playi'd after the 
winter hunts were over, especially if the hunt had been successful; or 
during the summer when game was unfit to kill. Usually one village 
played against another, and heavy bets were made. The game as it is 
still played by the Indians consists in carrying the ball to the opponents' 
goal. The two goals are about four hundred yards apart. The ball is 
thrown up in the middle and th(» players try to catch it on their bats 
when they throw it as far as possible, if a i)layer makes a fair catch he 
may carry the Inill advancing it toward the goal. In this picture the 
game is ])eing i)layed on the ice and a young buck is running with the 
ball. 

I. II. 1 I. Indians I'laying Ball on the Prairie. This view represents the game 
on the i)rairie. Kach player is ti'viu'^ to get the ball in his hat without 
touching it with his hands. The game mav hist all dav.

I.H. 12. Indian Gameof the Bowl (Schoolcraft). The disks in the upper part 
of the slide are used in the Dacotah game (three sets). In the lower 
part is the Chippewa game. There are thirteen pieces. (The red disks 
count.) In all there are 16 different positions of the disks that count. 
If all disks turn red and the two chiefs stand on top the count is 158, 
which is the best throw. If all are down and only 1 red disk shows the 
count is 2. Usually three hundred points constitute a game. The disk 
labeled 1 is the chief — Ogima; 2, the serpent — gitchy Kinabic; 3, the 
war club; 4, fish — Kenozha; 5, brass disks; 6, duck — Sheesheeb. 
I.H. 13. Game of Plum-stones. This game requires a bowl, a set of stones or 
dice, and a blanket. A set has 8 pieces, and the point of the game is to 
throw one or two eagles. Two eagles win the game. If you win you 
throw again. Loaded dice are not uncommon. 
I.H. 14. The Indian Death- whoop — Taking the scalp (Schoolcraft). An 
expert scalper accomplished this feat in 10 seconds with four slashes and a 
jerk — the proudest moment in an Indian's life. 
"Where late the birchen wigwam stood, 
Or Indian braves their game pursued. 
And Indian maids were won and wooed, 

By light of soft Diana, 
Fair cities as by magic rise, 
With church towers pointing to the skies, 
And schools that charm the world's wide eyes 
To fair young Indiana."

I. II. 31. Fort Harrison. Harrison left Fort Knox Sept. 26, 1811, with about 
nine hundred men. He reached the Old Wea Town Oet. 3. Here he 
built a fort one aere in extent on a bluff 30 feet high- It was completed 
Oct. 28, and clu-istened Fort Harrison by Colonel Jo. Daviess. Miller, 
hero of Lundy's Lane, was left in charge of the garrison. Colonel Taylor 
was later placed in charge of the Fort. It was attacked by Indians about 
12 o'clock the night of Sept. 4, 1812, and the lower blockhouse burned. 
The defense of the fort was the beginning of Taylor's fame. 

I.H. 32. Tippecanoe Battle ground, 1811.

with the Indians he pitched camp. Notice the names of the leaders: 
Randolph, Warrick, Owen. Spencer, Bartholomew, Floyd, Daviess. Park. 
Wells. The tribes which attacked Harrison were the Shawnees, Wyan- 
duts, Kickapoos, Ottawas. Chippewas, Pottawattomies, Winnebagoes,

I.H. 34a. Fort Wayne (Lossing's Pictoria} Fi'.eUUiook of the War of 18U^). 
When the war began Proctor and Teeumseh determined to capture Forts 
Harrison and Wayne. Fort Wayne was held by Capt. Rhea and 70 men 
with 4 guns. The Indians hovered around the fort for six weeks and 
finally a body oi' 600 made an attack on the night of Sept. 6. 1812. The 
siege was broken by Harrison on the 12th. 
Fort Wayne was the home and the burial place of the famous chief Little 

Turtle. He died July, 1812, and was buried with military honors. 

This fort was built in autumn of 179o. Old Post Miami was some dis- 
tance up the St. Mary's. The old stockade fort captured by Pontiac's 

Indians was on the east bank of the St. Joseph. Harmar was defeated down 

the Maumee at the ford.

I.H. 38. Rafinesque. the Scientist. Ratiuesque was an eccentric Frenchman 
who came to New Harmony early in the nineteenth century where he 
stayed a few years. Afterwards he became professor of botany in 
Transylvania University. Lexington, Ky. 

I.H. .39. Bonner's Cotton Mill, Vincennes, built about 1S21. The mill faces 
Barnett street between Second and Third streets. It is still used as a 
storage-room. Cotton was grown in many parts of southern Indiana in 
the early days. 

I.H. 40. Old Town Hall, Vincennes. Tlie town was incorporated in 1S14. 
The town hall was erected in IS^iT and torn down in 1886. When this 
hall was built, there were no green grocers. All butchers, vegetable Aen- 
ders, and hucksters were required to have stands. Sales were not allowed 
outside of the stands when the market was open. On most days the 
markets closed at 9:00 a. m.

Market prices were qiioted in a contemporary paper as follows: green 
apples. 25 cents; beef, 2 to 2^ cents, dressed; butter, 10 to 12 cents, in de- 
mand; chickens, 75 to 87 cents per dozen; corn in ear, 20 cents; meal, 25

the left is the American Hotel, of which John Clai^k is proprietor. Senator 
Waller Taylor with a babe in his arms is on the hotel platform. 

I.H. 42. Indianapolis, 1820. 

"Those olden times have passed away, 
And in the clearing by the wood 
Fair architecture builds today 
Proud mansions where the cabins stood; 
And cities lift their domes and spires 
Where hunters struck their lone camp fires." — Sarah K. Bolton. 

I. II. 43. Surveying the Site for Indianapolis, 1820. Alexander Ralston was 
the surveyor. 

I.H. 44. Site of Union Station, Indianapolis, 1838. The first train over the 
J. M. & I. railroad ran into the city October 1, 1847.

pleted the bridge in 1834. It cost $18,000. Jonathan Knight was the 
surveyor. 

I.H. 46. Birthplace of Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks, Jonesville, O., (Sept. 7, 
1819). A typical house of the time. 

"And some of those who used to meet 
With tattered spelling-book and slate. 
In piebald jacket, bare brown feet. 
Now hold the helm that guides the State, 
And look with pride from where they rule 
To cabin-home and cabin-school." — Sarah K. Bolton. 

I.H. 47. St. Francis Xavier Church, Vineennes. The old building was re- 
placed by the present church between 1826 and 1834. 

I.H. 48. Pioneer Preacher. 

"And when a preacher came their way, 

They gathered in the forest gi'een. 

To hear the word, to sing and pray. 

With hearts and consciences serene. 

Uplifted by that holy faith 

That lights the shadowy vale of death." — Sarah K. Bolton. 
The circuit riders did much for the cause of law and order. Horse thieves 
and gamblers who flocked to the border found them a formidable enemy. 
Among the traveling preachers of that time were Peter Cartwriglit, James 
Havens, Lorenzo Dow, and Francis Asbury. 

I.H. 49. Camp meeting.

I.H. 51. Internal Improvement Map, 1834. 

This map shows that the need of transportation facilities was great. 

I.H. 52. Navigating the Wa])ash. Cai)(ain Towe of tlie "Kcpublican" on a 
voyage in June, 1834. Colonel Pollard and Job Eldridge had merchan- 
dise aboard. Passengers and erew walked, and pushed the barge over 
bars. At the rapids they stuck fast and had to be dragged over by 20 
yoke of oxen (July 4). The steamer "General Hanna" came up White 
River to Indianapolis in 1835; the "Matilda Barney" came down the 
St. Joseph to Elkhart in 1837; the "Science" came up the Wabash to 
Peru in lS3o. 

I.H. 53. Irish Fighting on Canal. The picture represents a fight between the 
crew of a canal boat and a construction gang. 

I.H. 54. Traveling on the Old Canal (Hendricks. Histori/, p. 14G). On July 
4, 1835, the first packet on an Indiana canal ran from the Wabash to the 
Maumee at Fort Wayne. It was named "The Indiana" and captained 
by Oliver Fairfield. A big celebration was held at Fort Wayne. A 
procession headed by 33 young women marched down to the city hotel 
where there was a feast and then a ball. When, in 1843, the canal was 
finished another celebration was held at Fort Wayne. General Cass was 
the orator. 

I.H. 55. First Ilaih'oad in Indiana (Hendricks). About 1830 the railroad 
fever struck Indiana. From 1830 to 1832 six railways were chartered: 
the Lawreneeburg and Indianapolis, the Madison and Indianapolis, the 
New Albany and Indianapolis, the Harrison and Indianapolis, the 
Lafayette and Indianapolis, and the Ohio and Indianapolis. The 
first of these was partly built; John Walker completed about two miles 
at Shelbyville by July 4, 1836. Ho had a car built at Shclbyville; in the 
picture he is hauling people to a celebration at the other (>nd of the line. 

I.H. 56. Shooting-match. This picture shows Colonel Duret and Hugh 
McKeen deciding the name of Logansport by a shooting-match. For a 
description of a shooting-match see extract from Baynard R. Hall's The 
New Purchase, in Readings in Indiana Histonj, p. 264. Hall himself was 
one of the best marksmen in the country. 

I.H. 57. Mike Fink. Mike Fink was a type of riverniaii, lialt' horse, half 
alligator. He, Talbot, and Robertson were the cocks of the walk on the 
Ohio and Mississippi. He often drank a gallon of whiskey per day but 
was never drunk. 

I.H. 58. Runaway Slave. These broken wrecks were drifting thru Indiana 
at all times. Many men made a living catching them and taking them 
back. Free negroes were often kidnapped and sold south. 
"Where the slave-whip ceaseless swings, 
Where the noisome insect stings, 
Where the fever demon strews 
Poison with the falling dews. 
Where the sickly sunlieams glare 
TliroiiL;!! tlii' liol mid inistv air." — Whittikr.

I.H. 59. The Old Statehouse. The old Statehouse was built on the present 
site, 1832 to 1835, at a cost of $58,000. It was of simple Doric style. 
"Though many laud Italia's clime, 
And call Helvetia's land sublime, 
Tell Gallia's praise in prose and rhyme. 

And worship old Hispania; 
The winds of heaven never fanned. 
The circling sunlight never spanned 
The borders of a fairer land 

Than our own Indiana." — Sarah K. BoLTon.
